Series 2, Episode 7 - A Touch Of Glass
Further details
Returning from an auction, the Trotters stop to help a woman whose car appears to have broken down.
It turns out she is a posh sort. No less than Lady Ridgemere, wife of Lord Ridgemere who own the Ridgemere Hall Estate.
Having towed the Lady to her stately home, Del overhears that the Lord of the Manor is having trouble with the firm he's hired to clean their chandeliers. He wastes no time in offering the Trotter's services as chandelier cleaners for a mere £350.
With Rodney and Del up ladders, and an old sheet the only thing between the cut-glass chandelier and the floor, it is only natural that Grandad detaches the chandelier from the room behind them.
Del's fast talking excuses are the Trotters' only chance they have of escape!
